Afraid to ask The ladies with the whips were "The corps of Women Drivers & Grooms". a Post Office corps formed during the 1914-18 war to drive the horse drawn mail vans. The way traffic is today I can see them making a come back.  |

And I'm a fan of the card showing the hen & chicks cycle, or pentacycle as Wikipedia prefers. Here's an image of a cigarette card showing these cycles, nabbed from the website for The Postal Museum in London. Sir Rodney has an actual black & white photo image, which I have snaffled on a previous occasion, but it sits on an external hard drive at the moment ...  Ryan |
